i thought about this before i wrote what i wrote - but something has to be pushing those particles - there has to be some type of force behind it in order for it to move - i would just say that it is a force -

with speakers - loud speakers - there is usually a hole cut out in it - the louder the sound/music, the stronger the wind/air

sound is the source of the wind -

what is the difference between air and wind ?

and what is force ?

the particles obviously have kinetic energy hence why theyre able 2 move. same reason why i can move when no force is pushing me.

sound isnt the source of wind.

air is the atmospheric substance above the surface of the earth. its made up of different gases. wind is the movement of gas particles.

a force is an influence that causes an object to move. gravity magnetism friction etc

in terms of magick, i took a step back and looked at the motive of the ritual. "to open a dimension to great power"

symbolically you have 2 diagrams of power the pentacle and the cross.

one representing man and the other representing nature.

by offering sacrifice on the points of these two symbols overlaid on each other, an altar is created.

this is basic magick ritual. powerful.

Also, symbolically, man was put on the cross (Jesus).

There was also Hebrew letters used in the movie. Interesting how the tooth of a lion was used. And it is the letter SHIN in Hebrew. Shin symbolically means fire (fire looks like a tooth when it burns) and fire is the element of the lion (leo).

Aleph in the Hebrew alphabet means ox and an ox was used in the ritual.

Nun is a letter as well and it means seed, and a new generation of life, so it could rep man as well as other things. Symbolically, some have written that the letter Nun even looks like a man.

Earlier in the movie, Lord BLackwood convinces others he has ressurected.

The killing ritual also implies the resurrection of man:
Man (rep air) was killed by Ox (earth). - So man is dead.
Ox (earth) killed by eagle (water).
Eagle (water) killed by Lion (fire).
Lion (fire) killed by man (air). - In order for man to kill lion, he must have been resurrected. - Jesus symbolism again (according to Bible)

Using that chart that Flacon put up, the characters were killed off in a symbolic way as well:
Man representing air, was killed in dirt (earth)
Ox/bull representing earth, was killed off in a tub of water.
The eagle representing water was killed using fire.
The lion representing fire was to be killed using air/poisonous gas, but was stopped by Holmes...

Ya. The five elements are associated with the five senses, and act as the gross medium for the experience of sensations...

The basest element, earth, created using all the other elements, can be perceived by all five senses – hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell.

The next higher element, water, has no odor but can be heard, felt, seen and tasted.

Next comes fire, which can be heard, felt and seen.

Air can be heard and felt. "Akasha" (aether) is the medium of sound but is inaccessible to all other senses.
